CertiK Partnership-
Decentralized finance (DeFi), decentralized applications (dApp), and decentralized organizations (DAO), will now be able to migrate from existing centralized cloud providers like Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, or Microsoft Azure, to Akash. Now with CertiK, they can layer on monitoring and security, providing an extra layer of protection in the DeCloud.
Akash Network and CertiK are also exploring the possibility of deploying Pancake Swap’s front-end on a decentralized cloud to demonstrate the capabilities of a censorship-resistant and permission less cloud, protected by CertiK’s cloud security product, CertiKShield, a decentralized on-chain tool to reimburse lost or stolen assets. DeFi protocols and users can leverage CertiKShield as a hedge against audits.
